Lenny was enjoying the wind in his hair. A feeling he had dearly missed as he smoked his cigarette.
Ever since he came to this world, it has been one problem after another.
Not that he was complaining, especially since all of it created opportunities for him to grow quickly.
However, it was still nice to enjoy a little peace and quiet.
"Good stuff!" Lenny complimented.
"Yes, I saved a whole warehouse of them when moving to the domain."
"Hmmm." Lenny nodded at this.
He had to admit that this man really had foresight.
Even predicting that an adored commodity like cigarettes would be valuable in the post-apocalyptic world.
"Can I ask?"
"How did we get here?" Father Black questioned
"Yes"
"You won't believe me even if I tell you, but trust me, it used to be heaven. Now, it's all piss and horse fart!"
Lenny chuckled at those words. It was true that this place was not so good, but it was far better than the Hell on earth that the outside world was facing.
At least in this place, their immortality was assured.
Out there, only true power could speak of comfort.
Devils, Demons... Lenny even wondered what else could be out there.
Compared to there, this place could still be considered heaven.
Just then, a loud GROWL was heard, disturbing their peace.
Even Scarface, who had started to sleep, was woken up.
This growl was all too familiar to him.
Then again, since they were out of the town area and into the open, it was expected that the beasts would be around.
"Don't worry; if you stick to the path, they won't be able to do anything. Like I said, it's a path the Town chiefs use."
More growls were heard.
However, nothing happened.
At least until a Giant Phyton blocked their path.
It was twice the size of the car, and it just stayed right in front of them with its mouth wide open.
In other words, they were driving straight into its mouth.
"WATCH OUT!!!" Father Black warned.
However, Lenny did not hit the breaks.
Instead, he frowned as he accelerated into the mouth of the beast, straight into its stomach.
The beast shut its mouth at the satisfaction of its meal.
*Boom!*
A loud explosion occurred as the rear end of the beast was blown open, and the car sped right out of it.
As it did, Lenny chuckled a bit, his hands still glowing with white flames.
Lenny checked his magic points.
He had used it against the nether creature and now against the giant python.
<Magic points: 990/1000 (Basic 2 )>
Formerly, a fireball would cost him 250 points to use.
However, that has now changed.
He had used it twice, and it had only cost him ten points.
Lenny suddenly felt a slight need to enjoy himself.
Luckily, prey was presenting itself to him.
Different snakes and other creatures rushed forward, like a tidal wave in their path.
There were 'giants' of almost everything.
Monkeys, wild dogs, Elephants...
"We should turn around!" Scarface stated it plainly.
Father Black chuckled. "What do you mean? We are only getting to the really fun part!"
Lenny grinned as his hand stretched outside the window and grew brighter.
*Boom! Boom!! Boom!!!*
He released blast after blast.
Meanwhile, in a town still a few kilometers away, some scouts stood on a very high wall as they watched the burst of white flames blazing high into the sky.
This particular wall was easily double that of Father Black's Town.
However, this wall presented a vast contrast to that of Father Black's.
For one, it did not possess rusted barb wire and dried meat on its walls.
Instead, it looked, in a word, Peaceful.
It had surprisingly green plants growing on its walls, lush and full of vibrant life, with blooming flowers.
There were large security lights on different parts of the wall that only added an extra layer to its beauty.
The scouts on the wall watched as blazing white flames went out in uneven explosions.
"What is that?" One of them subconsciously asked the question in their minds.
One of them remembered his binoculars.
Quickly, he placed it in front of his eyes.
"You have to be fucking kidding me!"
"What is that!?" Another one asked.
"There is no need to know; we need to inform the Town Chief. It's a Code Red! A Witch threat!!"
He immediately dropped the binoculars and rushed to report.
As he did, another scout also rushed to push a button, and red, blazing alarms sounded all over the place.
Behind Lenny's car, there was a mountain of beast corpses still burning in white flames.
Lenny and Father Black chuckled loudly. For people like them, this was true fun.
"You are really a Son of the Gun!" Father Black complimented
Lenny nodded, admittedly.
However, a while more passed, and they could see lights far off in the distance.
If it were in the modern world, such a sight would be a normal thing to see.
But in the apocalypse, it was a very perplexing sight.
After all, having electricity at night was a sign of power.
"Over there! That's Ella's Town." Father Black pointed at it.
"A little advice: when we get there, you are going to do the talking."
Lenny wanted to ask why, but Father Black gave a simple statement for the reason.
"Let's just say that I'm bad at paying debts."
Finally, the car arrived at the gate.
Lenny slowed the car down as he approached a stop.
There was something very peculiar about this environment.
And this was not just the giant gate and walls that were covered in green plants, but the gun muzzles and artillery that were pointed right at their vehicle.
Lenny opened the car door and made a gentle attempt to come down.
However, a SHOT came straight for the door.
"Whoever you are, please go back to where you are coming from. If you drive closer, you will be shot. If you alight your vehicle, you will be shot. If you so much as speak, you will be shot. Ella's town is not interested in your visit or what the fuck you have to say. Return, or immediate fire will be opened up at you in 30 seconds..."
